Property Appraisal

Start with a free property appraisal

Find out what your home could sell for and what a sensible selling plan could look like. Our free, no-obligation appraisal gives you a starting point for a move, whether you are ready to list or thinking ahead. Every property deserves an individual assessment, rather than a number based only on its address.

Tell us what you are planning

Use the form below or call 04 296 6900. Include your property address, a convenient way to contact you and anything important about your timing. You can name your preferred salesperson or ask our office to introduce you to someone from the local sales team. If you are also buying, tell us so the conversation covers both sides of the move.

What happens next?

We contact you to discuss your plans and arrange a suitable property visit. The visit helps us understand the layout, condition, improvements and details an online estimate may miss. Tell us about known issues, consented work, access arrangements and the features you particularly value. You do not have to complete every presentation job before asking for advice.

Our appraisal report brings together relevant comparable sales, the local market context and the price or range the salesperson considers realistic. We can then discuss presentation, a sale method, marketing and your preferred timing. Ask for the proposed costs and responsibilities in writing before deciding whether to proceed.

Look at the evidence behind the range

For a Paraparaumu home, useful comparisons go beyond a matching bedroom count. A compact unit, a renovated family house and a larger home with more outdoor upkeep can appeal to different buyers. Access, usable living space, condition, ownership arrangements and the precise setting can affect how well a sale compares with your property.

Ask which recent sales are most relevant, where the comparisons are weaker and how current competing listings affect the recommendation. Our property-worth guide explains the differences between an appraisal, rating value, online estimate and registered valuation. An appraisal is not a guaranteed sale price or a registered valuation.

Bring these questions to the meeting

What supports the price range, and what could change it?
Which presentation work is worth discussing before I spend money?
Why does the proposed sale method suit my property and likely buyers?
What are the commission, marketing costs and payment terms, including GST?
Who will keep me updated, and when will we review buyer feedback?
How could my sale timing affect an onward purchase?

You can read our costs and agreements guide before the meeting. Requesting an appraisal does not commit you to an agency agreement. Take time to consider any proposal and get your own legal advice before signing.

Independent information about the evidence behind an appraisal is available from the Real Estate Authority. When you are ready, share your details below and let us know how we can help.
